From aforementioned details it comes out that in the cases
mentioned at Sr. No. i, vii, x, xi. Petitioner was convicted, however, in the
cases mentioned at Sr. No.ii, iii, v, viii, ix, xii, xiii, xiv, xv and xvi. Petitioner
was either discharged or was acquitted by the respective Courts.
5. Proceedings regard to the cases mentioned at Sr. Nos. iv, vi and
xvii are pending. Therefore, prima facie considering the purpose of the Act
i.e. Haryana Good Conduct Prisoners (Temporary Release) Act, 2022 for the
purpose of releasing of the petitioner on parole cannot be applied so strictly
as has been depicted by the State in his status report. Court has seen the
medical report as well as photographs (Annexure P-2) and other relevant
medical record which clearly shows that the child is suffering measurable
pathetic condition and he need urgent medical care. If the prayer of
petitioner is rejected, it would be it may cause damaged to the life of infant
child without too providing any proper care by some responsible person.
6. However, by referring to the judgment of the Hon’ble Division
Bench of this Court in the case titled ‘Kulwinder Singh @ Taina vs. State of
Punjab and Others‘ 2024 (3) Law Herald 872, Law Finder Doc ID
#2592372, and the judgment of this Court in ‘Karanpreet Singh alias Giana
alias Fateh vs. State of Punjab and Others‘, passed in CRWP-344-2025,
decided on 01.03.2025, learned counsel submits that in view of the purpose
behind granting parole as a rehabilitative measure, the petitioner ought to be
released on parole for a period of eight weeks. Accordingly, prays for
quashing of the impugned order. The beneficial purpose of the discretion has
already been discussed.
7. Though petitioner has prayed for release of petitioner 03 weeks,
however, considering the circumstances in entirety and the ailment with
PRIYANKA which his child is suffering may require ample time for providing treatment

and for the said purpose, petitioner is ordered to be released on parole for a
period of 08 weeks from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order,
and subject fulfiling all the required formalities to the satisfaction of District
Magistrate, Jind. Thereupon, petitioner be released on parole immediately by
the Jail authorities as per law. Copy of this order be also forwarded to the
concerned Jail authorities.
However, it is made clear that petitioner if found misusing the
concession, immediately he will have to surrender back to the Jail thereon or
the Police may also go to arrest him. It would be expected that he will not
get involved in any other activity except of taking care of his child and the
family members.
Further, petitioner is directed to surrender back before the Jail
authorities on 11.09.2026 by 5:00 P.M.
Petition stands disposed of.
8. Before parting, it is apposite to notice that in the status report
dated 24.05.2026 filed by the respondent-State, in Para No.3 it has been
stated that the minor son, namely, Himanshu, of the petitioner, who is
suffering from neurological ailment, is undergoing treatment at Sunflag
Global Hospital, Rohtak. Further it has also been mentioned that
surgery/operation of Himanshu was scheduled to be held in the first week of
June, 2026. Even photographs of the child have been appended with the
present petition as Annexure P-2, showing his ailment/condition.
9. In this view of the matter, this Court is of the considered view
that the financial position of the petitioner and his other family members as
regards to bear the expenses of the treatment of his minor son in a
specialized hospital, is required to be ascertained so that proper treatment
PRIYANKA may be provided to the ailing child, if so required. Accordingly, learned

State counsel is directed to get the financial status of the petitioner and his
family members ascertained through the concerned Deputy Commissioner of
the District to which the petitioner belongs. The report in that regard be
